Investigate vegetation in an area, determining the species that are native and those that have been introduced. How does one impact the other? Can they live compatibly or does one species tend to ‘crowd out’ the native grasses/vegetation? How does this effect the environment and the people that depend upon the land for their livelihood?

Find out about local farming practices – perhaps in the area near where you live. Monitor the effects of farming upon the land, identifying that as an essential part of land management. Is the environment safeguarded from undue degradation? If the farming practise involves animals, compare the carrying capacity of the land (animal to square kilometre ratio) to that of Moolooloo station. If the figures are very different, suggest reasons as to why this is the case.
